Pre-arrival is essentially meaningless for inland applications, except it usually comes when your eligibility check has been completed. Please update us when you receive AIP.
It keeps getting weirder: today I received the Pre-arrival letter - and still no AOR, which means I still can't apply for OWP nor health coverage.
So my (strange) timeline is:
Applied: May 17, 2024
Biometrics invitation: August 21
Biometrics completed: August 22
Pre-Arrival letter: October 26
In your experience, does the pre-arrival letter mean anything substantial?
Hi everyone,
so I think I also received the AIP yesterday!
"It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence
as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class. Please note that a final
decision will not be made until all remaining requirements for becoming a permanent resident
have been met. These requirements include medical, security and background checks for you
and, if applicable, all of your family members, both in Canada and abroad, even if they are not
applying to join you in Canada at this time. You cannot become a permanent resident until you
and all your family members have met these requirements."
That's the AIP, right?
My timeline now is:
Applied: May 17, 2024
Biometrics invitation: August 21
Biometrics completed: August 22
Pre-Arrival letter: October 26
AIP: October 28
And could you tell me where I apply for the OWP? I don't seem to find the correct link and clicking in circles somehow...
